Eyes on the Wye is a forum through which local communities have come together to monitor their part of the River Wye and call Welsh Water to account for sewage overflows. By focusing on the impact of individual overflows, we can understand the extent of the impact and campaign for investment in specific problems - and prevent sewage entering our environment.
We are urging Welsh Water to stop sewage overflows discharging into the Wye Valley - starting with the worst pipe at Bigsweir.
We are helping with the set up of community testing teams to sample the water from overflow pipes, to understand and evidence the impact.
We want to work with communities to help report and track sewage overflow discharges.
We want to explore other local solutions to reduce the impact that sewage overflow discharges have on our environment.
Information we provided means the Newlands overflow at Redbrook now appears on the app, so the community can track incidents as they happen.
Our first meeting with the MP for Monmouthshire, agreeing a plan of action - including sharing our evidence with the CEO of Welsh Water.
